US Supreme Court refuses to block removal of Ten Ccommandments from Alabama courthouse.

The only tyrant here is Moore.

[dalebert]

He can always refile his case.

Post 495 ought to say it all. That should be the end of all intelligent dissent. God bless you. Thank God your brain matter is precisely at the level it is. =]

It was perhaps a stretch, but we either have to play within the rules (while never giving up our objectives) or we are anarchists, especially in a matter like this. It's not like Judge Moore is practicing civil disobedience like a lunch counter sitter.

He's the Chief Justice of the state supreme court, and he's saying that court orders don't have to be obeyed.

That's outrageous. If court orders don't have to be obeyed, nothing does. Survival of the fittest. Get out your guns and pitchforks.

Bullcrap. That's not the America I want.

You work within the system to change the system.

Indeed, Moore of course ignores the explicit provisions of ther Alabama Constitution of 1901 that prohibit any state act that favors any religion
I don't believe such text exists. It would be cited everywhere by now and there would be no intervention from the federal courts, invoking federal statue... You might be simply misinformed.

I'm unconvinced. Judge Moore said that it was acceptable if he had to go to jail and/or pay fines.

Isn't that a fair trade? As in some sort of: don't obey the law, but accept the penalties thereof?

He isn't on the run. He isn't advocating an elimination of laws. He seems simply willing to accept legal penalties if his views are held to be wrong.

lol. Please see post 491 about what the First Amendment means.

"Sorry for the stupid remark, I just hate religions that think they have a patent on morality."

Well, I really feel the same way about that; just did not want to expand beyond the 'colloqial' issue here of the relevancy of the The Ten Commandments and their place in 'America's Moral history' so to speak; and that history unfolding. . .

[rwfromkansas]

hey, what about me. :)

[rwfromkansas]

Work within the system, you say?

I wonder if you would have told that to the revolutionaries in the American colonies. There comes a breaking point.

[wardaddy]

agreed....I'm happy for anyone to turn the tables on the anti-pluralists and take the offensive..

If all we ever do is react then we will always end up losing in the long run.

[Southack]

"I said that the Founders did not either talk about or have religious displays in courthouses."

And even on that point you are wrong, as our Founders displayed Leviticus 25:10 on our Liberty Bell inside the Supreme Court chambers at Independence Hall in 1790.

See Post #395.

[Southack]

Ooops! Make that Post #495!

Thank you for speaking out. I won't be able to read it all tonight. I got up to the part about Jefferson being a strict constructionist. I know, people say he was a hypocrite for the Louisiana Purchase. However, he made himself vulnerable to impeachment, did he not? If the people were outraged enough by his unconstitutional behavior, they had a tool to punish him. But they were not.

Such should be the same with judges. If a judge ignores the Constitution, it should be a dangerous move. That is the only way the Constitution should breathe, such as during the Iran Contra matter, when Reagan might have been vulnerable to impeachment, except that the people were behind him and resented congressional pro-leftist attitudes. Public support can trump impeachment. But the attitude that shields leftist judges like kamizars is sickening.

I'll try to read some more later. FReegards....

[bluebunny]

I am ashamed of this forum. What ever happened to this place? We need men. We need courage. Most of all, we need God.

We ARE still here, don't worry.

[singsong]

Excuse me...I wasn't commenting on the U.S.S.R. 60 years ago or Kosovo.
It's not the years, it's the beliefs of the people who did it.
I'm talking about right here in the good ole U.S. of A. where we live, right now.
And I'm talking about the people with similar beliefs right here and now.
Corruption of what, might I ask? And I certainly don't appreciate the tone I get.
Of churches. Non-Christians do not face it and have hard time grasping it. It's not meant as an insult.
